i have been vautling in these all year so far, and they are the best spikes i have jumped in , i normally jump in reeboks but these ones are a lot lighter, and have a different spike plate design almost like a sprint spike , but it doesnt take away from the take off, i recomend them

i like them so far also, really light and they have a nice rigid plate...um on setback is my zipper broke the first day i wore them, but other than that they are sweet.

I liked them for about 2 weeks before I realized they tore up my ankles and shins so bad I couldnt run for two days after I wore them.
the old/new (same thing) Nike PV spikes have 2x as much padding and are much nicer to me.
